The vice-president of multi-national corporation Intel is to address an international conference at NUI, Galway next week.

Nanci Palmintere, who is currently Vice-President of Finance and Enterprise and Director of Global Tax and Trade for Intel Corporation, will visit NUIG to deliver the keynote address, 'Tax and Business Aspects of Site Selection', at the 17th Annual Tax Research Network (TRN) Conference.

The TRN is an interdisciplinary organisation set up to encourage research into all aspects of taxation. Its annual conference, which is being held in Ireland for the first time, will run from 4 to 5 September at NUIG's J.E. Cairnes Graduate School of Business and Public Policy.

The event will bring together academics engaged in taxation research, as well as representatives from the accounting professional bodies, tax practitioners, tax executives in industry, the Irish and UK Revenue Authorities.

Frank Daly, who heads up the recently formed Commission on Taxation in Ireland, will speak at the conference dinner. Areas being investigated by the commission include the role of the tax system in encouraging long-term savings to meet the needs of retirement, and fiscal measures needed to protect and enhance the environment.

Other papers at the conference will cover a range of topics including tax avoidance, dividend tax capitalisation, the impact of a changed capital gains tax regime on dividend policy, procedural justice principles and tax compliance in Ireland, the plant/building distinction, and the impact of education and regulation on the quality of services offered by tax agents.
